What Causes Irregular Periods And Weight Gain Despite Having PCOS?

Hi, I am 20 years old and since November 2014 I haven t stopped having a period. It isn t painful really just annoying. I have also gained about 170 pounds in about a year and 3 months and I don t understand why as I walk everywhere and don t eat much. I have started losing a little hair and when I shower 3 or 4 pieces come out at a time and I get horrible heartburn that starts then stops. I don t think I am pregnant as I have taken a test and it was negative. Thank you for reading and any insight would be great. Also I forgot to mention I have PCOS as I had an ultrasound done on my ovaries and the doctor said I had 42 follicles around them and that one was enlarged and swollen.

Hi dear!

Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
It's all due to PCOS. Try to reduce your weight. PCOS makes hormonal disbalances and causes irregular behavior of periods and difficult to conceive. Consult your gynecologist for discussion on possible treatment option for you.

May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable starred feedback to help me assist you in a better way. Go to my profile to write a Review regarding your experience with me here at my Virtual clinic.
